Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I am intrigued by the way that the Financial Secretary compared the cost of fuel in rural areas with the cost of housing in urban areas. Is there a hint, underlying that thesis, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who represents Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, was wrong yesterday to suggest that there should be an increase in the availability of social housing in urban areas?
